Best wishes to all who make it to the Concert.
The very experienced conductor has put a lot of work in and I am sure it will be a great success.
Also many thanks to whoever feels inspired to write a few lines or take some interesting photos for inclusion in the next Old Blue.
Happy Christmas.

Hope it went well.
I've been laid up for three days with some weird and wonderful tummy-bug.
